Bed and Breakfast Description

Hotel Museum Atelier sul Mare is a unique Art-Museum-Hotel on the northern coast of Sicily (Italy), just few meters from a fantastic blue sea. The hotel is situated in Castel di Tusa, an enchanting little village near Cefalů (20KM) and S.Stefano di Camastra (9KM), in the Messina province.

Just the perfect stay for your new and old clients doing a Sicily tour. Our hotel offers memorable experiences since its main feature is the presence of many important contemporary artworks of well known artists inside and outside the hotel. In fact 20 out of 40 rooms were realized by important internationally recognized artists: Danielle Mitterand, Mario Ceroli, Fabrizio Plessi, Mauro Staccioli, Renato Curcio, Maria Lai, Raoul Ruiz, Paolo Icaro, Luigi Mainolfi, Michele Canzoneri, Hidetoshi Nagasawa, and many others.

That's why Atelier sul Mare is mentioned by world famous hotel publications, like HIP HOTEL, and top hotel guides, and gets so much media coverage (ex. CNN ).

But most of all Atelier sul Mare offers the unforgettable experience of sleeping inside art. The art rooms provide to the guest a unique and powerful experience. They are appropriate for an 'inner youney' of meditation. The art is not designed to be displayed to the viewer; it is meant to surround the guest: 'Only after entering and living in a room the artwork will be complete.

Most Popular Rooms:

Paolo Icaro lived 4 weeks in the room he created. "...the walls of my imagination began to open up, I thought of a nest…" A sculpture originated awakening curiosity, interest and meditations. The nest forms the point of a shell to look out on to the sea.

The room created by Michele Canzoneri is an impressive setting. The bed is on a large wooden raft, the floor is made of blue ceramic like sea waves. The raft becomes a chair, a bed, a table. The bath fixtures are placed in brass containers like on a ship.
